Buffalo Springfield

An American musical collective that formed in 1966 in Los Angeles, California, performing folk-rock with elements of country music and laying the foundations for the genre known as country rock, combining the "freethinking and poetic language of Greenwich Village with the energy and instrumentation of rock 'n' roll." The band's career lasted a little over two years, but its few releases had a noticeable influence on the formation of the California music scene and the development of American rock as a whole. Buffalo Springfield members Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay, and Jim Messina—after the band's breakup—achieved success both as members of their own groups (Crosby Stills & Nash, Poco, Loggins & Messina) and in their solo careers.
